does anyone know if each 350Z engine has a unique engine VIN or block number? If so where it is located ?

thanks. i will look at the car tomorrow. bit to dark to go out now !

 

I think he is talking about one on the block of the engine and that pic doesn't show where it is just the ones on the car. On the engine, it should be on the block just below one of the heads. I saw it a few years ago but the engine was out of the car so and I dont remember which side it was on. It will be stamped in the block though on a little flat piece and say VQ35DE and the block number will be under that.

 

Got ya.....so it may not be very easy to find just looking under the hood. i will def take a peek tomorrow.

 

Ya, theres no vin on the block. Just a number and the engine code.

 

serial number on back of block...

 

My fault, misread ?

 

well it snowed today in NY so i did not get a chance to look under the hood. thanks for the help so far though. i will def check it out this weekend.

happy new years all !!!!

 

Bumping an old thread instead of starting a new one. You can thank the search feature.


So i have a question. Is this serial number associated with the VIN? I think my engine is a victim of oil consumption but the engine is not in the original chassis, so the dealership may not believe that my block is out of a 2006 305z 6mt.

 

Post a pic of the front timing cover, it will reveal what version of the VQ you have, the front covers are all different between the DE, Rev-Up and HR.

If you have the right motor for an 06 MT Z you will have a Rev-Up and the engine is specific to that year.
